Presidential candidate Clinton promises to prosecute police killers

NEW YORK Hillary Clinton promised on Monday to bring the "full weight of the law" against people who kill police officers if she becomes the next U.S. president after two recent episodes of gunmen slaying police officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge.

Clinton, the presumptive Democratic candidate ahead of a Nov. 8 election, made the promise in a speech in Cincinnati at the annual convention of the civil rights group the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

"Anyone who kills a police officer and anyone who helps must be held accountable," Clinton said. "As president, I will bring the full weight of the law to bear to make sure those who kill police officers are brought to justice."

The penalties for killing a police officer are rightly more severe than those for killing a civilian because police are symbols of the rule of law, she said.

Clinton's remarks come among heighten tensions between police forces and many black and Latino Americans, who have been rallying in protests across the country against a spate of police killings of black men, often unarmed, during encounters.

Wow she is getting desperate.

[DoughtyOne]

She is an exceptionally good lair.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Whoopee $hit. That’s a pretty low bar.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Since thusfar they all end up DEAD that’s a pretty easy promise to make.

[Enterprise]

Um hmm. A law and order candidate. Bleh.

[Enterprise]

She's a good lair.
Got fleas in that hair.
Her hair is the lair.

[DoughtyOne]

Yes, I was trying to make dyslexics feel accepted...

LOL

[Lent]

Oh yeah Reuters tough talk? Where’s her speech headline to NAACP? Something like:Hillary attacks police culture and plays the race card!

[kingu]

So, Hillary, the terrorist’s family in Florida, are you going to prosecute them too?

[headstamp 2]

Blah, blah, blah

[goldstategop]

She just lost the racist BLMers with that statement.

For the latter, the only good cop is a dead cop.

The deadly shootings in Dallas and Baton Rouge have drive it home.

[Enterprise]

Yhank Tou.

[DoughtyOne]

“:^)

[AlphaOneAlpha]

Oh yeah.
We recently saw the Dems dishonest version of the full weight of the law in prosecution t In fact, Hill & Billy were the on center stage of that farce. All liars...Comey, Lynch, Obama, you name them.

[China Clipper]

With all due respect for the slain officers, haven't all the cop shooters assumed room temperature?

I'm guessing it would be easy to prosecute and punish someone who has already been "celestially punished".

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Public Enemy #1 who skated blithely past the law is going to exert “full weight of the law.” Sure.

[mumblypeg]

It’s not the job of POTUS to prosecute anybody.
Plus matters pertaining to local crime and cops do not fall under the jurisdiction of the Feds.
She’s pandering to the low info crowd as usual.
